Earth Up

Late Spring     The weather was brilliant, already drying out & clear. Sunny, 19 degree days....good working conditions.

First Job  9AM  Camp bacon & egg breakfast...We had packed everything you could possibly need a full trailer & ute... except for ....matches ! to light the burner for much needed coffee. Off to the local shop & then an after thought... we could have used the cigarette lighter in the ute... whoops!


Timber.....A few days spent selectively falling rotten, dead & dying trees full of wattle grubs. The trees didn't take much persuading. We removed those spikey bushes & box shrubs..nasty.

The Snow Gum  Now has pride of place.

Rocks...Shiploads ! Plenty for Gabion walls & landscaping.
 
Clearing & Stacking We started stacking by hand but it fast became clear it would take months & countless trips to do...so an excavator is  on the way. Especially for the trees across the driveway access.

Next  Fencing & water connection.We hope to get some of our native Pepper Berries in the ground too & choose suitable natives.... it will come to me with time.
